Chapter 466: Having Nothing

Zhang Nuo swept a glance at the people beside him, only to see that Su Haizhen's white robes were stained with many blood splatters; it seemed she had also slain quite a few cultivators in this battle!

Looking further back, there were Yang Huzi and Liu Qingshan. Because these two had been stifled for too long, they had fought with abandon the moment they charged into Hongjun Immortal Mountain! They had left almost no reserves, and after fighting so desperately, they had several wounds on their bodies, though they were all minor injuries that would be fine after a few months of recovery!

"Alliance Leader Hai! Many thanks to the Mo Tie Alliance for your help this time! I will keep my word: Hongjun Immortal Mountain belongs to the Mo Tie Alliance!"

This time, in front of a large crowd, Zhang Nuo fulfilled his previous promise, which was even more convincing than when he had said it to Hai Wuqing alone before!

"Pavilion Master Zhang is truly a man of his word! Hai is ashamed to accept this! How about this: if the Giant Spirit Pavilion has any need for the Mo Tie Alliance in the future, just speak up. Everyone in my alliance will surely do their utmost to help!"

After witnessing Zhang Nuo's divine abilities, Hai Wuqing would absolutely not let this great opportunity slip by. Being able to maintain this alliance relationship with the Giant Spirit Pavilion meant that if any major events occurred in the future, Zhang Nuo could count as a solid backing!

The two of them understood each other without speaking, and after exchanging a few more polite words, Zhang Nuo prepared to take his people and leave!

"You have fought a great battle for a day; wouldn't it be better to rest here for a day before leaving?"

Hai Wuqing tried to persuade Zhang Nuo and his party to stay, but Zhang Nuo politely declined! All the elites of the Giant Spirit Pavilion had come to Hongjun Immortal Mountain; what if someone went to raid Yulong Immortal Mountain at this time? Having handed over Hongjun Immortal Mountain, if he were to lose Yulong Immortal Mountain as well, Zhang Nuo would truly have suffered a double loss.

Seeing that Zhang Nuo's intention to leave was set, Hai Wuqing found it difficult to stop him further. He escorted the Giant Spirit Pavilion party all the way outside the mountain gate before bidding them farewell one by one!

By now the sky was dark, and Zhang Nuo and the others traveled through the night, striving to return to Yulong Immortal Mountain as soon as possible! Watching Zhang Nuo leave, Hai Wuqing slowly turned his body and said to the two remaining Hall Masters behind him:

"You must remember! Never have a conflict with Zhang Nuo in the future! This person's divine abilities are far above mine! I fear that even if the three of us joined forces, there would not be a shred of hope for victory!"

Shi Buquan was still relatively indifferent, but when Shen Yuanqiao heard this, a bitter look appeared on his face. Back in Mo Tie City, he had offended Zhang Nuo, and now that he heard his boss say this, he couldn't help but feel a lingering fear!

"When Zhang Nuo faced Gui Yibu back then, he didn't show the slightest bit of fear! That awe-inspiring appearance really made me envious to death! When will I ever have cultivation and divine abilities like his!"

Shi Buquan had a relatively straightforward personality; he said whatever was on his mind.

"Heh! Have divine abilities like his? I have already stepped into the Nascent Soul Late Stage, yet compared to Zhang Nuo, I am still inferior!"

Seeming to be thinking about something, Hai Wuqing lowered his head and pondered for a long time before muttering to himself.

Throughout this journey, Zhang Nuo had been flying in the lead. Today's great battle had consumed nearly ninety percent of the Spirit Power in his body, but for the safety of the return trip, he still released his full Divine Sense to scout the path ahead for the Giant Spirit Pavilion party!

"Pavilion Master! Our disciples are already very exhausted! Why not rest on Hongjun Immortal Mountain for a day before leaving? Aside from the Great Underworld Mansion, no one else will have designs on Yulong Immortal Mountain!"

Liu Qingshan accelerated his flight speed, came to Zhang Nuo's side, and lowered his voice to speak.

"Elder Liu! Saying that at the time was just to find an excuse! People's hearts are unfathomable; one never knows what others are doing! Now that the Great Underworld Mansion has been broken and Hai Wuqing has obtained Hongjun Immortal Mountain, if we stay any longer, who knows what kind of changes might occur! Therefore, even if we are to rest, we must leave the sphere of influence of Hongjun Immortal Mountain!"

A single sentence awakened the dreamer! Liu Qingshan shook his head and sighed softly:

"It seems I am still not as quick-witted as the Pavilion Master!"

"One must be on guard against things in this world! Elder Liu, in a moment, Haizhen and I will return to Yulong Immortal Mountain first. You and Third Brother should take the disciples of the Pavilion and find a safe place to rest for a while! I was careless for a moment and let that fellow Jin Buhuan escape! I fear he might rally the remaining disciples of the Great Underworld Mansion to act against Yulong!"

After giving these instructions, Zhang Nuo called Su Haizhen to his side!

"That is fine too! As long as the Pavilion Master returns, even if Jin Buhuan goes, he won't be able to stir up any big waves!"

After Liu Qingshan agreed, he returned to the ranks!

In the dark night, Zhang Nuo and Su Haizhen transformed into two streaks of light and sped toward the direction of Yulong Immortal Mountain! The journey was quite safe, and a few days later, they finally returned to Yulong!

Everything was fine, and no accidents had occurred! Ye Yuemiao had been guarding the Immortal Mountain, and as soon as she saw Zhang Nuo and Su Haizhen return, she immediately asked for the details of what had happened!

After listening to Su Haizhen's account, Ye Yuemiao's bright eyes widened, and she couldn't speak for a long time! What kind of existence was the Great Underworld Mansion? It had actually been annihilated in a single day!

"I believe Elder Liu and the others will return in a few days. How about this! Fairy Ye, send someone to go ahead and meet them!"

"Alright!"

After Ye Yuemiao left the hall, Su Haizhen suddenly walked to Zhang Nuo's side and gently placed her hand on his shoulder! She smiled lightly with ill intent:

"How is it? It has been a long time since you saw Fairy Ye, are you missing her very much? You were in such a rush to hurry back, it wouldn't be just to see her, would it?"

Once these words were out, Zhang Nuo's face turned bright red!

"I didn't mean that!"

Being teased like this by his own wife, Zhang Nuo found it very hard to save face!

"Forget it! Anyway, the major task is complete! In the remaining time, just watch how your wife helps you win over Fairy Ye!"

Su Haizhen smiled charmingly, her fingers lightly brushing across Zhang Nuo's cheek! Zhang Nuo felt a bit strange for a moment; it seemed this action was reversed, and it should have been him doing it!

He suddenly reached out both hands and pulled Su Haizhen into his embrace! He leaned against her ear and whispered:

"You dare treat me like this! See how your husband deals with you!"

As he spoke, Zhang Nuo's flight light rose, and he flew toward the location of his Cave Abode!

A few days later, Yang Huzi, Liu Qingshan, and the others also safely returned to Yulong Immortal Mountain! At this time, Zhang Nuo was sitting in Yulong Hall, listening to the news Liu Qingshan had gathered on the way back!

The three Immortal Mountains that the Six Great Sects had joined forces to attack had also been completely conquered due to the death of Qin Xiaofeng! However, some disputes had arisen regarding the ownership of the Immortal Mountains! These matters had nothing to do with the Giant Spirit Pavilion, and Zhang Nuo didn't even think about them!

It was just that after this battle, all the participating sects had gained some benefits, yet the Giant Spirit Pavilion had nothing at all! But the trouble they had caused was the greatest! If the master of the Great Underworld Mansion were to settle scores later, I fear all the blame would fall on them!

In launching this attack by uniting many forces, Zhang Nuo also had a bit of selfishness! Half was for Yulong Immortal Mountain, and the other half was for revenge!

Slaying Chi Bilie had made Zhang Nuo feel a bit better, but letting Jin Buhuan escape was a huge failure!

"Elder Liu! Mobilize the disciples of the Pavilion; at any cost, find the whereabouts of Jin Buhuan for me! I must kill him with my own hands!"

Zhang Nuo's words were sonorous and powerful, and the killing intent contained within them was even more intense!

"There is no need for the Pavilion Master to order this! I have not only sent the disciples of the Pavilion to search, but I have also notified the Six Great Sects and the Mo Tie Alliance!"

Having long known that Zhang Nuo had an irreconcilable hatred for Jin Buhuan and the others, Liu Qingshan had thought of this in advance! Zhang Nuo nodded slightly, very satisfied with Liu Qingshan's approach! In the time that followed, the Giant Spirit Pavilion began to recuperate, as they had lost quite a few disciples in this battle!

Far away at the former site of the Divine Sword Sect on Tianyuan Continent, this place was no longer what it had been! Wisps of Yin energy wrapped around this Shenjian Peak so tightly that not even water could pass through. At the summit of Shenjian Peak, a magnificent palace stood proudly. Among the pavilions and halls, several cultivators walked about!

Suddenly, a long, angry roar erupted from inside a room! The sound lingered in the sky above Shenjian Peak for a long time without dissipating! This was the location of the Great Underworld Mansion's main altar!

A man in black robes paced back and forth in the room, his breathing heavy!

"Zhang Nuo! Zhang Nuo! This ant-like existence has actually ruined my great plan!"

The person speaking was none other than the master of the Great Underworld Mansion, who was also an avatar of Zhuanlun Wang of the Ten Kings of the Underworld! On Xianhuan Continent, the moment Qin Xiaofeng and Chi Bilie died, he had sensed it immediately! At the same time, through secret arts, he had discovered that the culprit who killed these people was Zhang Nuo!

This brat, whose name he had only heard but whose real person he had never seen, had actually been able to kill two mainstays of the Great Underworld Mansion in a single day; it was truly incredible!

With the death of Qin Xiaofeng, the foundation he had built on Xianhuan Continent had all turned to nothing!

"Damn Lu Yuhou, if it weren't for you! How could I have suffered such heavy injuries!"

Gritting his teeth in hatred, the master touched his chest! For over a hundred years, the blow he had received from someone who had descended from the Demon Realm had still not fully recovered, and his cultivation, which had previously stepped into the Spirit Severing Stage, had fallen back to the Nascent Soul Stage because of that strike!

"All of you remember this, if this King can complete the plan! In the future, I will certainly drag you all out to extract your souls and refine your spirits!"

The Master, filled with extreme hatred, raised a hand and smashed the table in front of him into powder! When he had originally forced his way into the Human Realm from the Underworld through a spatial rift, he had actually had certain goals! The appearance of the Immortal Illusion Continent could have accelerated the realization of his plan, but he had not expected that it would be because of this fellow Zhang Nuo that his entire plan was disrupted!

At the same time, on a flat piece of land a hundred miles away from Shenjian Peak, a man in his fifties was holding a wine gourd and gulping down drink! After several large mouthfuls, the man glared angrily at Shenjian Peak, then his figure flashed and he disappeared into a nearby forest!
